About this episode
Diplomatic insults, proxies, war cameraderie, war strategy. This chapter looks like current events! David sends an official delegation to console Hanun, King of Ammon, after the death of his father. Hannun uses this as an opportunity to shame David and ti declare war. David sends the army under Yoav's leadership. What we see next is a masterclass of how to function under testing circumstances. See the parallel chapter in 2 Samuel ch.10 and our podcast on that chapter. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2waGIgHXDfDGPiNfYCFK5d?si=6161b641a8e243ad
